Screen addiction and multitasking issues
I am sitting in front of 3 monitors, my tablet and my phone and there is something on all these screens and my vertical monitor has about 200 tabs open on it.

How can I fix my concentration because I don't think this is working out for me. I was even thinking of buying another monitor until I stopped and made this thread instead. But I still want that monitor and the tab is still open for it.

I tried going back to one screen and took everything out but I put it all back after only 1 day.

Step 1: stop with the AI slop
Step 2: buy one large flat 8:5 or more square monitor
Step 3: put all the other screens away
Step 4: meditate on the freedom that one screen provides vs the shackles and chains of multiple screens
This is the way, I know it's tough, I know you tried it, your one screen was too small that's all.

Nobody, ever, needs to have more than 10 tabs open. Even that is stretching it.

I currently have two monitors above a MacBook screen and that is plenty of space. All three horizontal. If you want help with productivity, consider that setup. The MacBook has a boxier 16:10 or so orientation that is great for doing things like graphics editing and the like. Then you can use one of the two floating monitors above it for a YouTube video and the other for discord/x/whatever.

The brand of the laptop doesn't matter, keep your little mactoddler outbursts to yourself.

Kind of insane how the purpose of a modern OS is to literally enable you to have lots of shit open at once, and organize it all accordingly, yet all retards do is buy more monitors for more wasted space and open more tabs they can't even manage. Then when they give up trying to make sense of their fucked up UX (which is entirely their own fault) they start adding in more external devices, because god fucking forbid you take stock of the problem you created. So inevitably you get faggots like OP who make their own stupidity into some "woe is me" crap like he has severe ADHD. Nigga you are dumb as rocks and shouldn't even have technology. You should learn what fucking quadrants are, figure out what a bookmark is, maybe read a book and definitely not on that piece of shit overpriced tablet you didn't need in the first place.

Here, let me give you a circle of paper.

Do you want to share a URL with the class of a Windows laptop that offers a 16:10 or better aspect ratio and a resolution above 1920x1200?

i will never understand tab hoarders. i immediately close a tab when i'm done with it. if nothing else, you are wasting RAM by keeping all those tabs open.

These are the same kinds of people who never figured out how to use bookmarks correctly. In the old days you'd see lots of idiots just endlessly saving page after page, not even sorting them, and then ending up with 1000 different websites they had no intention of even opening.

4 is plenty. One for email, rwo for company homo portal and documentation, one for recreation.
Or 4 tabs for porn.

I am rarely just done with the tab, more likely I want to check out something else and come back to it later

If your browser is worth keeping installed, it will put unused tabs to sleep. It's still pointless to have dozens of tabs open, regardless. I understand working on 5 sites concurrently. Even opening, say, 10 articles or 20, to read and then discard. Everything else is better handled by bookmarks.

Most people on earth have never ever been taught how to organize information.
It is a learned skill.

2 screens is optimal, working on screen 1 and using screen 2 for reference or documentation open on the side. Anything beyond 2 is just distractions and 1 doesn't allow you to have reference open without switching context constantly. What do you do anyway?
Anonymous No.106505698
at one point I had 4 screens active but now I removed the 4th one(it was kinda broken anyway) and I only turn on the 3rd one when I need it.
2 is the absolute minimum for me.

1st has permanently a twitch stream or yt video active.
2nd I use for browsing the web.

sitting at my pc is my life there is nothing else.
I don't think I could live with only one screen.

Two monitors is all you need. No, you don't need to be watching a twitch stream and checking discord and working on something, if you're like that then it's better off if you just ended it now. Spend 30 minutes per day sitting on your couch looking out the window without any devices and you'll start to feel better

HOW would you even have 10 tabs open? That takes like 128GB of RAM in any modern browser.

not even having a gf helps
she actually might be the reason I'm like this
addicted to the Internet and computer
I wasn't supposed to be in a relationship with her for more than 6 months, but here we are at 3.5 years....
I've cheated countless times. Even with Japanese otokonoko trannies and she's none the wiser
How can God expect a man to be married and faithful?
There is so much pussy and ass to put your cock into and so many new minds to explore and brainwash

What's eating you, OP?

Use two monitors. One large high-quality primary monitor, and one small basic secondary.
Sell your third monitor, don't just put it away.
Install a tab limit extension like this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/rudolf-fernandes/
Keep your tablet in a different room.
Make sure you're spending enough time outside each day.
